I am extremely thankful to receive a commendation award for the annual World DNA Day Essay Competition held by Medicover Genetics. The topic being, ‘How unfolding the DNA code can help precision medicine’. In my essay I focused on pharmacogenetics, specifically how side effects of a drug can be minimized using genotype-guided dosing. Moreover, I discussed the possibility of implementing gene editing techniques to prevent the heritage of diseases, utilizing the CRISPR complex, as well as the benefits of gene testing.
